Snowbird Oktoberfest

Snowbird's Oktoberfest features live musical performances each day in the Snowbird Event Center tent, from festive acts like the Salzburger Echo and Polkatones. Visit http://www.snowbird.com/events/summer/oktoberfest.html for more information. The event runs until Oct. 7.

Faculty violinist Hasse Borup and pianist Heather Conner will premiere a lost 70-year-old sonata by one of the most prolific and important American artists of the 20th century, Vincent Persichetti. Though Sonata No. 1 was composed in 1941, it was never premiered. Borup discovered the lost sonata in the archives of the New York Public Library, and the groundbreaking research led to a unique collaboration between the U. of U. and NYPL.

The Weber State Symphony Orchestra will play the "Canzona for Two Orchestras" of Giovanni Gabrielli, followed by music of Mendelssohn, Svendsen, Arensky and Copland. Call 1-800-626-7000 for tickets or visit the Dee Events Center.

The University of Utah Chamber Choir and A Cappella Choir will present a concert titled "The Fall Collage." The Chamber Choir will perform works by Barlow Bradford, Barnum, Shepherd, Bernstein, Kreek and Brahms, and the A Cappella Choir will perform works by Rutter, Butler, Hansen, Stroop and Tallis.
